Position Description

Continuing-track Assistant Professor, Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Delaware

The Department of Mathematical Sciences (https://www.mathsci.udel.edu/) at the University of Delaware invites applications for a Continuing Track faculty member at the rank of Assistant Professor. The successful candidate will provide outstanding instruction in introductory and intermediate-level mathematics, especially calculus courses, and will engage in coordination of large multi-section courses in calculus and other introductory mathematics. Curriculum development and mentoring of less experienced instructors, including teaching assistants, will also be expected.

The anticipated workload for this position is primarily devoted to teaching (typically 3 courses per semester), with the remainder devoted to service and scholarship. The Continuing Track (CT) is UD’s permanent, non-tenure track career path. CT faculty enjoy contracts that increase in length over time, as well as many of the same benefits as tenure-track and tenured faculty, such as identical titles, a parallel promotion track, sabbaticals, and shared faculty governance. For more details about the CT path, see https://sites.udel.edu/ctcaucus/why-do-you-want-to-be-a-ct-faculty-at-ud/
